NAAC

NAAC (National Assessment And Accreditation Council)

India has one of the largest and diverse education systems in the world. Privatization, widespread expansion, increased autonomy and introduction of Programmes in new and emerging areas have improved access to higher education. At the same time, it has also led to widespread concern on the quality and relevance of the higher education. To address these concerns, the National Policy on Education (NPE, 1986) and the Programme of Action (PoA, 1992) spelt out strategic plans for the policies, advocated the establishment of an independent National accreditation agency. Consequently, the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) was established in 1994 as an autonomous institution of the University Grants Commission (UGC) with its Head Quarter in Bengaluru. The mandate of NAAC as reflected in its vision statement is in making quality assurance an integral part of the functioning of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

The NAAC functions through its General Council (GC) and Executive Committee (EC) comprising educational administrators, policy makers and senior academicians from a cross-section of Indian higher education system. The Chairperson of the UGC is the President of the GC of the NAAC, the Chairperson of the EC is an eminent academician nominated by the President of GC (NAAC). The Director is the academic and administrative head of NAAC and is the member-secretary of both the GC and the EC. In addition to the statutory bodies that steer its policies and core staff to support its activities NAAC is advised by the advisory and consultative committees constituted from time to time.

EXTENDED PROFILE

BEST PRACTICES

Enhancement of teaching-learning methods with modern teaching aids
Objectives of the Practice

To improve (enrich) the Student Centric Learning using modern teaching aids effectively

To enrich the regular classroom teaching with the online lectures from SWAYAM, NPTEL and other MOOCs conducted by various worldwide universities

To use modern teaching aids such as smart boards, projectors, PowerPoint presentations and animated videos for regular classroom teaching in order to enhance Student Centric Learning.

To conduct Value Added Courses to educate the students in cutting edge technology

The Context:

The fundamental ideas of the subject are difficult for students to understand through traditional classroom delivery. So, regular classroom teaching is not sufficient to teach modern technologies to engineering students. The following modern teaching tools are used to enrich the effective teaching-learning process.

Smart Classroom

A smart classroom is a technology-enhanced learning classroom that magnifies the way of teaching and learning digitally. Visual learning using smart technology elements like graphs, images, charts, presentations are highly effective to grasp the subject quicker. Smart Classrooms helps in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills in students.

Computers with internet facilities connected to LCD projectors are available for the faculty members to use PowerPoint presentations, NPTEL video lectures, and animations for handling classes which improves the understanding of students.

MOOCs

The institution established NPTEL Local Chapter which provides E-learning through online Web and Video courses for various streams. NPTEL videos of 3.5 TB are available for the faculties. Faculty members motivate and help the students to complete the NPTEL, SWAYAM and other MOOCs courses by acting as a Mentor for students. Assignments and tests in MOOCs help in improving critical thinking and problem solving ability of students.

Virtual Labs

Faculty members utilize the Virtual lab facilities provided by the MHRD for doing experiments in laboratory classes. The Virtual Labs provides remote-access to simulation-based Labs in various disciplines of science and engineering.

Google Classroom

Faculty members utilize open source learning management system like Google Classroom for providing course materials, question bank, lesson plan and assignments. It was extensively used in pandemic period.

Google Forms

Google forms are used for conducting online MCQ Quizzes. The information is stored as a spreadsheet automatically records the answers. The spreadsheet then populates the responses from the quiz or survey in real-time. Participative learning is enhanced by Google Forms.

Video Conferencing

The open-source video conferencing ICT tools like Zoom meetings, Google meet, and Webex meetings are used in extra-ordinary situations like COVID-19 for conducting regular academic classes, webinars, technical talks, alumni interactions and motivational talks, etc and this provides an enjoyable learning.
Discussions with renowned academicians and the implementation of this approach of enhancing teaching and learning using modern teaching aids and methodologies provide better results.

Practice

Our institution proposed this ‘Escalation of teaching-learning methods with modern teaching aids” as one of the best practices. Smart boards, LCD projectors, amplifiers, speakers, Wi-Fi and internet facility in all the departments are established. The faculty members are educated to use these teaching aids effectively. They are advised to prepare their class presentations, animations, and videos and are encouraged to use available good teaching content online to support their teaching. Moreover, faculty members are trained to follow modern teaching techniques to enhance better learning. The lecture content, question banks, and study material are shared with students through Google classroom, Whatsapp group, social media networks and Email. Faculty members conduct quizzes, demonstrations with modern tools, and case studies effortlessly in day-to-day classes. It greatly enhanced students' learning.

Evidence of Success

This practise ensures that education reaches every student with various levels of understanding. Implementing this kind of classroom education improves teacher-student interaction and collaboration. The faculty members can engage in classes effectively because of all teaching materials such as presentations, lecture videos, animations, tutorials, notes, and question bank with answers prepared at the initial stage of the semester. The video lectures, animated presentations, recorded video lectures, NPTEL, YouTube lecture videos, and software simulation presentations make classroom teaching interesting for all kind of students which make them understanding the core concept easily.

Problems Encountered and Resources Required

Faculty members found it difficult to get familiarize to smart boards, use Google classroom to post content, and create online quizzes in Google form. Now orientation program is given to faculty members to use the modern tools effectively to deliver the instruction. A technical problem with the touch sensors is also faced in the smart board. Maintenance of this equipment improved its practical usage. Students reside in rural villages suffered from network issues in pandemic period.

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL AUDIT

RVS Institute of Management Studies since its inception in 2008, has been a self-financing institution and hence has to generate its own resources to meet out the expenditure on various items and also for further investments on assets for expansion.

Mobilization of funds

The funds are mobilized from tuition fees, hostel fees, and other fees. The income from such sources vary from year to year depending on the admissions. As an institution located in a Tier 2 city, the scope for generating funds through other sources like research, consultancy, etc is limited. For almost all the MoU partners, any consulting work carried out is obligatory in nature. In spite of this disadvantage, the institution explores alternative ways to generate funds through research and consultancy, which has begun to see results.

Since resources are limited and requirements are huge, careful rationing of funds for various purposes is done with due diligence.

An annual budget is prepared by the Director and submitted to the CEO. The budget is scrutinized by the CEO and the Governing Council for fund allocation.

Optimum Utilization of funds

The CEO monitors the utilization of funds for both recurring and non-recurring expenses such as salary, electricity, consumables, maintenance, etc. Salary for teaching and non-teaching staff is one of the major items of expenditure. Staff and student welfare expenditures are given priority. Library and computer center are areas which require constant attention and financial support. Some of the items of recurring expenses are salaries for housekeeping, security, industrial visits, promotional activities expenditure, the conduct of programs, National & International visits for students, etc.

Quotations are sought from suppliers for the purchase of books, journals, equipment, computers, etc. The quotations are scrutinized based on the parameters of the brand, quality , and price before the decision is made. Care is taken to see that the expenditure lies within the estimated budget. In cases where the expenditure is exceeded, management permission is sought.

Financial Audits

The financial statements are audited by internal auditors and submitted to the management from time to time. A qualified Chartered Accountant also reviews the accounts/entries on a quarterly basis. Suggestions/objections, if any, raised by the Chartered Accountant are discussed with the management for necessary action. Every year the accounts are further reviewed and finalized by external auditors and audited financial statements are prepared and submitted to the management. Based on this report the budget for the next academic year is prepared effectively. The external audit helps the management to understand the financial requirements and the suitable actions are taken to utilize the fund mobilized through various sources.
